FC Basilisk turns Man Utd to stone

Thorsten Fink, the present Hamburger SV manager must have felt chills going up and down his spine today as his former club, FC Basel dumped Man Utd unceremoniously out of the Champions League. You read that right. Last year's finalist crashed and burned out in the group stage.

Heiko Westermann - Hamburgs captain
Today I'm going to see a match from the Bundesliga between Hamburger SV and Wolfsburg.
Hamburg is the only team that always played in the Bundesliga from its foundation in 1963, thus earning the nickname "The Dinosaurs". Unfortunately for them, they currently are in the last place.

Manuel Neuer was reminded he still has a job. Manuel Neuer just replaced Oliver Kahn as the new Bayern Munich record holder for most consecutive minutes without conceding a goal. He topped Kahn by 16 minutes and now stands at 1018 minutes and counting. For 928 minutes he barely needed to lift a finger.

On-loan Chelsea defender Jeffrey Bruma got a start for Hamburger SV today. The young Dutchman took advantage of the opportunity by going out and burying a diving header early in the second half. That's three goals in his last six league appearances.

Well done, lad. And, yeah, more of that please.

Nobody has been able to slow down Manchester City's high-powered attack, but U.S. goalkeeper Tim Howard will have a shot at doing so on Saturday, when the Toffees venture into the Eastlands to take on City, which has scored at least two goals in every league game thus far.

As for a pair of American midfielders, Stuart Holden could be in line for his first Premier League minutes of the season after his 90-minute Carling Cup stint when Bolton travels to the Emirates to face vulnerable Arsenal on Saturday, while Michael Bradley aims for his second consecutive start in Chievo Verona's home match against Genoa on Sunday.

This weekend should be a great one for football but in a less traditional way. There are no Manchester United/Chelsea or Barcelona/Real Madrid matches going on but there are some matches in other countries that might be considered the local equivalent at the moment. The three in particular that I will have my eye on are Porto/Benfica on Friday, Shakhtar Donetsk/Dynamo Kyiv on Saturday and Twente/Ajax, also on Saturday.

Aus gegebenen Anlass betrachten wir heute einmal die Ex-Trainer des Hamburger SV. Uns interessiert dabei aber nicht, was sie heute machen oder ob sie woanders den großen Erfolg hatten sondern vielmehr, wie bescheiden die Personalpolitik in Hamburg ist. Sehen kann man das an den vielen Ex-Trainern, die unbestritten nicht alle was für ihre Entlassung konnten.

Franck Ribery loves life without Louis. And it starts to show on the pitch. One of the best games of the French winger in a while. Robbery sounds great on paper. In reality it was usually about Arjen Robben cutting inside and scoring decisive goals, while Ribery was doubled, frustrated and ineffective.

Ich hab' vor dem Spiel ein bisschen was gesagt und dann lese ich heute Morgen vor dem Spiel, dass sie mir das Maul stopfen wollen. Aber wir sind doch hier nicht aus Zuckerguss. Wir haben absolut verdient gewonnen und wenn man mir das Maul stopfen will, dann muss man ein bisschen früher aufstehen

Tim Wiese, Torwart des SV Werder Bremen, nach dem Derby gegen den Hamburger SV im Interview mit Goal.

Wir müssen uns da als Mannschaft rauskämpfen und die Tore erzwingen. Wir müssen wieder diese Geilheit zeigen.

Marcell Jansen, Nationalspieler in Diensten des Hamburger SV, erklärt das Rezept, wie man endlich mal wieder Spiele gewinnen will.

Bayern stopped reinventing and are themselves again. A premature autobiography by the captain keeps everybody busy off the pitch. Games are routinely won on the pitch. The table is topped. Jupp Heynckes is the coach. Sounds like a short best-of compilation from the past 20 years of Bayern Munich.

Left hand on blue. One foot in the second division. At least as long as Hamburg coach Michael Oenning can't fix his team's grave defensive problems / hasn't been fired yet.

It's time to bring you another listing of weekend soccer action on American television. As I've said before, I started compiling this list just so I could figure out what I want to watch each weekend. Now, that I'm living in Argentina, this list is pretty irrelevant to me, but we will continue to bring it to you on a timely basis.

I like HSV. [Grumbles.] I don't like Juventus. [Grumbles again.]

That said, to put them on the same level, now or at any point in the near future is a bit much. Quite a bit much. The Hamburglers don't quite have Juventus' name or stature. Or money. Or players. Or potential.

With an unsuspecting woman in the crowd of a German sports show.

Keegan was a guest on "Das aktuelle Sportstudio" back in June 1979 to talk Hamburg and then to lip-sync to a playback of his song "Head over Heels in Love". The crowd goes berserk by German standards.

The arrival of Michael Mancienne at Hamburg has invited comparisons to Kevin Keegan's stint up north, for the sole reason that both are English.

Mario Götze had a fairly decent game against Hamburg compared to his standards and future potential. Compared to anybody else he played brilliant. Part of his brilliant performance was this little piece of skill. Welcome to the Bundesliga Michael Mancienne. Don't worry though. It's likely this will only happen to you twice a season.

The Bundesliga is back in its 49th incarnation and Friday's curtain raiser was both wonderful and frightening frightening at least for Bayern, Leverkusen and who else might have had vague hopes to win the league next year.

However, in the wake of the humiliating 4-0 exit from the US Open Cup at Chicago Tuesday night, the mood in Metroland is anything but pleased.

Don't you hate it when someone else mucks up and suddenly everyone's fun is ruined?

That's how they feel at Werder Bremen, where in-season tattooing has been banned due to an infection for Eljero Elia, who doesn't play for Bremen, but rather HSV, their rival.

So it'd be like Fenerbahce ruining the fun for Galatasaray.
